Learning Highlights:

• This week we started on our own person projects. We have full control over what we want to learn 2 afternoons a week. Some of us have chosen volcanoes, WW2, tsunamis, design, sewing, engines, etc.
• We have started a Modern Languages competition on the Language Nut Website with Mrs Flynn. This is a website where we learn Spanish and French through games and activities and you win medals for each one completed.
• We were given responsibility to plan and design the layout of our classroom since we are the oldest pupils in the school. We have chosen a mixed design of smaller group tables and rows. We are trialing it this coming week to see how we feel about it.

Challenges:

• Next Friday is our class assembly which we have spent a long time working on, writing scripts, rehearsing and making props. We can’t wait to show everyone next week.
• For writing we have been working on the orientation paragraphs for our narrative stories, focusing on adverbial phrases and expanding sentences.
• For art with Mrs Jenkins, we have been creating Scottish comic strips. These are tricky because we have to write in Scots Language.

Lead Learners, Bonnie and Frankie, were looking for ambition, hard work and kindness from the class this week. There have been 6 outstanding examples of this being demonstrated.
